Also very different airplanes
Commercial airplane crashes always make big news and their crashes in the past always caused improved regulations to the point where there is little left to improve
Private airplanes, on the other hand, different story

Yeah, key detail being, if we started listing car crashes from the past month, it would take up the whole thread.

Importantly, they tend to fly private aircraft, which I have recently learned are not as safe as commercial airliners. Commercial flights are subject to countless safety checks and have redundancies for days.

Guess those rich people are just going to have to start buying commercial jets. What a nightmare!

No. I mean like presidents and prime ministers. They’ll still ride alone but on a 737 instead of a Gulfstream.
